NHTSA Complaint #749590 — 2001 TRIUMPH TT600

I WAS HEADING WEST ON INTERSTATE 80 COMING IN TO AUBURN, CALIFORNIA, BETWEEN 65 AND 70 MPH IN 6TH GEAR AND COMING INTO A LIGHT TURN WHEN THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE AND WITHIN A SECOND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND/OR GEARBOX FROZE LOCKING MY REAR TIRE. THE BIKE SLID SIDEWAYS ALL THE WAY AROUND THE TURN, I PUMPED THE CLUTCH 13 TIMES BEFORE THE REAR WHEEL DISENGAGED ENDING THE SLIDE. I DON'T KNOW HOW I STAYED ON THE BIKE AND SHOULD MOST LIKELY BE DEAD OR SEVERELY INJURED. THE MAIN PPROBLEM IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY BIKE FOR OVER A MONTH[SUNCE JULY 5] AND HAS CONTINUALLY LIED TO MY MOTHER AND I ABOUT WHY THIS HAPPENED AND WHEN IT WAS TO BE FIXED[THEY'VE MISSED THEIR DATE TWICE SO FAR] WE HAVE JUST CONTACTED OUR LAWYERS AND WOULD LIKE ADDITIONAL HELP IF POSSIBLE.THANK YOU.
